The aftermath of the black flame explosion knocked away the Turkic soldiers who had originally planned to pass by. Zhao Guangxiu collapsed on the ground and shed tears unconsciously.
He hated his own powerlessness and allowed innocent people to die because of him until the end.
If he hadn't asked Bai Xiuping to take him to escape, maybe he wouldn't have had to fight Zuo Bei, the leader of the Turks, to save himself.
With his ability, he could have left on his own. If he really wanted to save the imprisoned people, he could just find an opportunity to save them later, but now he was harmed because of his own willfulness.
…
In the center of the battlefield, the trees collapsed, and the dead trees were still burning with embers of fire. There were countless slashes on the ground, and the two transformation masters fought desperately, making the surroundings look like a disaster scene.
Zuo Bei, who had resisted Bai Xiuping's full blow, was injured all over his body. He knelt down on one knee, but still straightened his back and did not lower his head. He sighed softly: "It turned out to be a demon. My luck must be too bad."
"Just kill me."
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. There is nothing to say if your skills are inferior to others.
He has heard about the masters of the Demon Sect, but those people's martial arts are not like this. Now this mysterious transformation master who uses demon skills, coupled with the devil-like shadow, in the Ming Sect, there are only the legendary ones. God damn it.
Bai Xiuping withdrew the remaining fire that was still burning on Zuo Bei and said in a deep voice: "I only want to ask you one thing, why don't you hide away?"
The grass on both sides of the left monument was burned away by the black flames, but the area behind him was fine.
"Master!"
A group of Turkic soldiers ran out of the woods and eagerly stepped forward and asked, "Master, are you okay?"
Bai Xiuping was stunned and realized that Zuo Bei was probably trying to protect the soldiers behind him. If he had escaped just now, none of the nearby soldiers would be left behind.
He stared at Zuo Bei with cold eyes. The other party had already seen the devil and was aware of his existence. Keeping him would be a threat to him.
As it should be.
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Xiuping stepped forward slowly, walked straight past Zuo Bei, and withdrew the domineering internal force that had spread out.
Zuo Bei turned around and shouted: "What are you doing? Kill me!"
All the Turkic soldiers have drawn their bows and aimed at Bai Xiuping. If Bai Xiuping makes any move, they will shoot at him without hesitation.
But Zuo Bei has lost his combat effectiveness. Even if the Turkic soldiers are in front, only Bai Xiuping wants to kill him, and these people cannot stop him.
Zuo Bei also knew this.
That's why Bai Xiuping's behavior puzzled him even more. He yelled: "If you don't kill me today, I will definitely make you regret it in the future!"
On the battlefield, it is so stupid to talk about kindness.
Bai Xiuping couldn't help but turn around and stare at Zuo Bei, but without saying anything, he turned around and strode away.
Zuo Bei froze on the spot, seemed to understand what he meant, looked up to the sky and laughed: "Interesting, it's really interesting."
"It seems that it is still early for me to become a qualified Great Khan, but I will not change my path. Only I am suitable to become the true leader of the Turks."
As soon as Zuo Bei raised his hand, all the soldiers put down their bows and arrows and retreated together. A token was thrown in front of Bai Xiu Ping.
"Take this, as I can repay the kindness of this life."
Zuo Bei stood up slowly, staggered towards Bai Xiuping, and sighed: "Now that the demons have appeared, isn't the outcome already obvious?"
"Be careful of Gongsun Huai from Wu Xing Palace. Everything is his plan. He is very dangerous."
Zuo Bei walked up to Bai Xiuping, put his hand on his shoulder, and whispered.
Bai Xiuping was shocked when he heard this and said anxiously: "What do you mean, Master Wu Xing Palace..."
Before he could ask further, Zuo Bei had already walked to the horse and was about to get on the horse and leave, obviously not intending to say anything more.
Bai Xiuping couldn't help but ponder what secrets Gongsun Huai, the master of the Wu Xing Palace, the father of the two brothers Gongsun Yang and Gongsun Fu, and now the second in the Mingjiao rankings, had.
Why did Zuo Bei say this?
Da da da.
Zhao Guangxiu hurried over, hugged Bai Xiuping tightly, cried with a smile: "Thank you for saving me, we can survive thanks to you, it's really great that you are okay."
Bai Xiuping looked down at him and smiled. A dignified prince turned out to be such a crybaby. He couldn't help but joked: "I can see the prince crying for me. It's not in vain that I risked my life to save you."
"Although you are annoying sometimes, it doesn't matter, you are my friend."
Zhao Guangxiu was not angry, but instead smiled.
After greetings, the two came to the cage. Bai Xiuping waved his hand and released several black flames to break open the cage. The imprisoned people stared at this scene in disbelief.
The bodyguard Ran Feihong looked at him and shed tears. Everyone reacted, knelt on the ground and shouted: "God of Light!"
It is said that the black flame is the god Mingzun believed in by Mingjiao.
The imprisoned believers returned to their places one after another, and the shadow guards of the Ming Cult were naturally released. They told Bai Xiuping that Zhao Guangxiu was in a very difficult situation now. There were eunuchs in power before, who rejected him as the prince, and later there were vassal kings. Watching with eager eyes.
Even if he goes back, he may only be imprisoned in a deep palace or directly exiled.
"Do you really want to go back?"
Bai Xiuping frowned slightly and said, "It's okay to follow me back to Shiwanda Mountain."
At least in Mingjiao, he can protect Zhao Guangxiu.
Zhao Guangxiu shook his head and chuckled: "I told you, some people are still waiting for me to go back. No matter how many people are my enemies when I go back, it doesn't matter. As long as I can go back and see her, that's enough. "
"I have to go back. No matter whether the world still needs me or not, she is waiting for me to go back."
Zhao Guangxiu said calmly: "Whether I am still on the throne or not, I can still do something for the people. Even if I am deposed or exiled, as long as I am still Zhao Guangxiu, there is nothing I cannot do. No ?"
"What matters is not who I am, but what I want to do for the world."
Bai Xiuping smiled knowingly and said, "That's right."
As long as he maintains this mentality, it seems there is no need to worry too much.
Zhao Guangxiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Can we meet again?"
He nodded again as if he was bulging and said: "I will definitely do it. I hope you can take off your mask next time we meet again."
"I'll think about it."
Bai Xiuping waved his hand, turned around and left gracefully, leaping into the air and disappearing.
"Thank you."
Zhao Guangxiu stood there and murmured.
…
Beijing.
After Zhao Guangxiu entered the imperial city and passed Chang'an Gate, he was unable to go directly to the East Palace through the main gate. He could only turn around and enter through the south gate alone.
No one cared about the return of this incompetent prince who was defeated in people's eyes. People in the palace isolated him because of the eunuch's attitude towards him.
The people were also full of complaints against him.
The residence of the dignified prince is no longer the magnificent East Palace, but an old and simple ordinary house. However, these are just the beginning.
Today's court is not only dominated by eunuchs, but the emperor is critically ill and the prince is regent. The court is in unprecedented chaos. No one knows how long the prince can survive in this situation.
Perhaps to him, this place is just another prison, or even a prison where his life is at stake.
However, Zhao Guangxiu didn't care.
He stood in front of the door, adjusting his appearance, with a smile that couldn't be hidden on his face. He slowly opened the door of the house, and a woman with her head lowered and embroidered clothes looked at him blankly.
"I'm back."
Zhao Guangxiu spread his hands and said softly.
The woman looked at him in disbelief, tears flowing down uncontrollably, and her fingers trembling, fearing that what she saw was just a dream.
"how are you recently?"
She stood up suddenly and ran forward. The two hugged each other tightly. Zhao Guangxiu said softly: "I miss you very much. No matter where I am, I have never forgotten every moment of our relationship, and I have never forgotten you for a moment. "
Lin Wanru cried: "I have had many dreams about His Highness coming back. Last night, the night before, and every night, I dreamed about His Highness coming back. I pray that the dream will not come to my mind. I pray that when I wake up, Your Highness will come back."
"It doesn't matter if you blame me or scold me, I, the incompetent prince, have made you suffer so much, waiting day and night, and have caused you to end up in your current situation."
Zhao Guangxiu said firmly: "But don't worry, as long as I am still here, no one can bully you. I will definitely marry you. No matter where I am, even in the next life, I will always love you."
"This is the reason why I insist on coming back. I won't let you suffer alone."
As the prince, Zhao Guangxiu lived a miserable and abject life deep in Nangong, but at this moment he felt happier than ever before.
What could be happier than being able to stay with the one you love forever?
